To produce these dyes, an amine of formula VNH (VII) is diazotised and the diazo component coupled with a compound of formula (VIII) Dyes of Formulae I, IV and VI can alternatively be produced by condensing an azo compound of formula where A, B and R each have one of the meanings assigned to them in the foregoing, with a compound of formula where R has one of the aforecited meanings and R stands for a substituent, preferably the nitrogen group, which activates the adjacent halogen atom, after which R is converted into R The reaction of compounds of Formulae IX and X is use. For this purpose they are comminuted to an average particle size of approximately 0.01 to microns, or more particularly 0.1 to 5 microns. Comminution can be carried out in the presence of dispersants and/ or fillers. For example, the dried dye can be ground with a dispersant, if necessary in the presence of fillers, or it can be kneaded in paste form with a dispersant and subsequently vacuum or jet dried. After the addition of an appropriate volume of water, these preparations can be employed for dyeing, padding or printing from long or short baths. For dyeing from long baths amounts of up to grams per litre are generally used, for padding up to about 150 grams or preferably 0.1 to 100 grams per litre, and for printing up to about 150 grams per 1000 grams of printing paste. The liquor ratio may vary within wide limits, for example from about 1:30 to 1:200 or preferably from 1:3 to 1:80.

From aqueous dispersion the dyes build up excellently on shaped materials of fully synthetic and semisynthetic, high-molecular organic substances of hydrophobia character. They are specially suitable for the dyeing, padding and printing of linear aromatic polyesters, cellulose diacetate and cellulose triacetate in the form of loose fibre, yarn, woven piece goods and knitted fabrics. In addition, they can be applied to polyamide, polyolefin, polyacrylonitrile and polyvinyl chloride fibres. Dyeings of particularly high quality are obtained on linear aromatic polyesters. These are, in general, the polycondensation prodnets of terephthalic acid and glycols, notably ethylene glycol, and are marketed under registered trademarks, such as Terylene, Diolen, Dacron and Kodel.

Known dyeing methods are used. Polyester fibres can be exhaustion dyed in the presence of carriers at temperatures of about 80 C. to 125 C., or in the absence of carriers under pressure at about 100 C. to 140 C. These fibres can also be padded or printed with aqueous dispersions of the new dyes and the impregnations fixed at about 140 C. to 230 C., by means of, e.g., water vapour or hot air. In the optimum temperature range of 180 C. to 220 C. the dyes diffuse rapidly into polyester fibre and do not then sublime from it, even when exposed to these high temperatures for some length of time, which precludes inconvenient contamination of the dyeing equipment. Cellulose diacetate is dyed preferably at about 65 C. to 80 C. and cellulose triacetate at temperatures up to about 115 C. The optimum pH region for these fibres is 2 to 9 or more particularly 4 to 8.

In most cases the normal dispersants or a mixture of dispersants are used, preferably those of anionic or nonionic character. About 0.5 gram of dispersant per litre of the dyeing medium is often sutficient, though larger amounts up to about 3 grams per litre may be used. Amounts in excess of 5 grams do not usually offer any further advantage. Known anionic dispersants which can be used for the process are, for example, the condensation products of naphthalenesulphonic acids and formaldehyde, in particular dinaphthylmethane disulphonates, the esters of sulphonated succinic acid, Turkey red oil, soaps, the alkaline salts of the sulphuric acid esters of fatty alcohols, e.g. sodium lauryl sulphate, sodium cetyl sulphate, sulphite cellulose lye or its alkaline salts, and the alkaline sulphates of the monoglycerides of fatty acids. Examples of known and very suitable nonionic dispersants are the adducts of approximately 340 moles of ethylene oxide on alkylphenols, fatty alcohols of fatty amines, and their natural sulphuric acid esters.

In padding and printing methods of application the usual thickening agents are used, for example modified or unmodified natural products, such as crystal gum, locust bean gum, gum tragacanth, starches, carboxymethyl cellulose and hydroxymethyl cellulose, or synthetic products, such as polyacrylamides or polyvinyl alcohol.

The dyeings obtained are extremely fast to heat, i.e. to sublimation, thermofixation and pleating, and to burnt gas fumes, cross dyeing, dry cleaning, chlorine, and wet treatments, such as water, washing and perspiration. They show good dischargeability and a good reserve of Wool and cotton. The light fastness is outstandingly good, even in pale shades, and consequently the new dyes are very suitable as components for the production of pastel fashion shades. They withstand boiling and reducing influences at temperatures up to at least 220 C. and particularly in the range 140 C. This temperature stability is not adversely aifected by the presence of dyeing accelerants. Being highly resistant to sublimation, the dyes are highly suitable for application to fabrics which are submitted to a permanent press finishing process in the later course of production.

In the following examples the parts and percentages are by weight and the temperatures in degrees centigrade.

EXAMPLE 1 6.9 parts of sodium nitrite are added slowly with vigorous stirring to parts of concentrated sulphuric acid at 6070. Stirring is continued for 10 minutes at 60, after which the solution is cooled to 10 At this temperature 16.3 parts of 2-amino-5-nitrobenzonitrile are added. In 3 hours diazotisation is complete.

The coupling reaction is brought to a close in acid medium by adjusting the pH to 2,0-25 with sodium acetate. The dye forms rapidly and settles out. It is filtered off, washed free of acid, dried, and recrystallised from dioxan. In the pure state it melts at 208-209 and gives dyeings of red shade on synthetic fibres which have excellent fastness properties.
